Former Manchester United teammates Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville have confirmed that they will open the world's first Hotel Football later this year.

The four-star facility, which will have 133 bedrooms and boast conference facilities, will be located opposite Old Trafford on Sir Matt Busby Way.

"Ryan and I have spent so much of our lives playing at Old Trafford and appreciate everyone who supported us there over the years," said Neville.

"To make sure that the hotel appeals to everyone, not just football fans, we are working with some of the most talented people in the industry to create something unique and inviting – with a focus on excellent customer service."

The hotel is due to be open for business on Monday, December 8, although bookings are now being taken.
